Sam,
aka Mr Sam the Magic Man, presented an absolutely fabulous lecture for the
A.M.S. last night.
I have to say that Sam is probably the most creative thinker in children’s and
family magic that I know. It’s fascinating to see how Sam’s ideas develop,
working them in during his professional shows and tweaking them until they play
perfectly with an audience. Most magicians would be keeping this performance
gold to themselves, but Sam is so generous and likes to share his ideas.
Last night we had full working magic comedy routines, with great looking and fun
props, clever utility devices for magical and comical happenings, and plenty of
advice when building your own props. Sam had something for everyone one, and
kept nothing back, showing us in detail how all the devices and props work.
There was definitely no padding in Sam’s lecture, it’s quite amazing and
awe-inspiring the amount of new material he creates.
At the end of the lecture Sam had a few if his creations for sale and video
lecture notes. The video lecture notes are great value and a great resource, a
brilliant and well produced visual reminder, with performance details for the
props and routines.
Sam is not only a creative bloke, he’s also a very talented entertainer, so the
night was full of laughter and plenty of banter amongst old and new friends. If
you have never seen Sam lecture, and you are an entertainer looking for new
material and inspiration, then this is definitely a lecture to watch. Thank you
Sam for a really fun and inspiring evening.
